Polish nobility in Gdańsk by Wilhelm August Stryowski, c. 1900:

propaganda: I feel like art from Gdańsk isn’t talked about enough and this painting just speaks to me in a way. It’s refering to the golden age of the city at the same time showing the disparities between the rich and the poor. Also the old man on the left could be the artist himself.

about the artist: Wilhelm August Stryowski was a painter from Gdańsk. In 1872 he founded the City Museum in the same building which now houses the National Museum of Gdańsk!

Joan of Arc - Real life

Joan of Arc (French: Jeanne d'Arc[ʒan daʁk]ⓘ; Middle French: Jehanne Darc[ʒəˈãnə ˈdark]; c. 1412 – 30 May 1431) is a patron saint of France, honored as a defender of the French nation for her role in the siege of Orléans and her insistence on the coronation of Charles VII of Franceduring the Hundred Years' War. Claiming to be acting under divine guidance, she became a military leader who transcended gender roles and gained recognition as a savior of France.

Toki Reads Shonen Jump 2025, Issue #6/7

One Piece: Collun attacks Luffy, proving himself to be the only child of Elbaf who embraces the old ways of war and violence, while also revealing that he's half-human and Ripley is a MILF; the mysterious cloaked figures inquire about Loki and attack the Giants who don't help them. The cloaked woman seems to have some kind of cloth- or ribbon-based power, so clearly Oda had no intention of stringing me along too far

Yozakura: Taiyo and Mutsumi have their vow renewal ceremony, prompting Kyoichiro to interrupt just before the kiss. The smile shared between Kyoichiro and Mutsumi was honestly so sweet, I'm such a sucker for that kind of thing

Undead Unluck: The Union officially clears the game, and are given their rewards - their bodies are all healed, their Negation abilities are removed, and all UMAs and Artifacts disappear; this has the heart-breaking side effect of erasing Clothy, who leaves behind a wedding dress as a gift to Andy and Fuuko, and leads to the erasure of Fuuko's memories as the cost of using The Heart. This chapter made me feel so many emotions, but I am left with one crucial question - what the hell is going to happen with Ruin?

Roboco: Seeing Bondo despondent from the back-to-back breaks in Jump, Roboco suggests going on a ski trip to give him the opportunity to look cool; through Roboco's usual contrivances, Bondo ends up saving Madoka from danger in his underwear, which makes him look ridiculous to everyone other than Madoka, who does think he was cool. A little progress in Bondo and Madoka's relationship is greatly appreciated

Sakamoto: Shin and Sakamoto's flashback begins, and we learn that Shin was searching for his father when he was captured by the JAA, who in turn were targeting Shin's (supposed) father. Seeing Shin use leading questions to force targets to have the thoughts he wants to hear is really cool, and has convinced me to watch the anime when it starts next week

EluSam: Tokiyuki lands a successful blow on Toki, earning Sadamune's approval; as this is their final interaction in history, the narration summarizes the remainder of Sadamune's life and the impact he had on Japan. Matsui's reverence for the less-remembered figures in history can really be felt in this chapter, and I'm sad that we won't see more of Sadamune

Witch Watch: After the team defeats Jeanne d'Arc, Shikimi appears to reveal Jura's real name, placing a curse upon them; back in the present, Kuon reveals that Morihito's dad has been absent because he's been working to prevent Jura's resurrection. Somehow it didn't occur to me that Hibana was going to be an adult post-flashback, and her design makes her an INSTANT fave

Blue Box: Chinatsu feels the pressure of Yumeka's genius-level basketball skills, represented as Yumeka's child self chastising her for trying to overcome her own fate, until she realises that, as she was thinking about previously, this is just a trick of her perception of Yumeka as a person, and the real one would never talk to her like that. I adore that Chinatsu's insecurity about the difference between her real self and how she's perceived is being applied to the people around her, it gives a lot of weight to the lesson she learned from that introspection

Akane: Akane is officially inducted into the Issho School, and is forbidden from further pursuing Shiguma's Art; however, Akane strikes a deal with Issho - once she proves she has the skill to master it, Issho will tell her the rest of the story about him and Shiguma and allow her to attempt to perfect Shiguma's Art; this leads into a three-year timeskip. Wow, I guess this really IS her Sabaody, huh?

Kill Blue: Ogami tries to help Inukai fit in at school, but it turns out he's a natural despite some awkward missteps and quirks. Honestly he's so endearing that even I like him better than Ogami, though I don't necessarily think he'd make a better main character since I like him based on how he meshes with the established cast

Nue: Gashadokuro agrees to form a contract with Raisei, but needs a vessel to manifest without destroying Raisei's body, so he decides to find one at the Fujino Family estate; Karasu Tengu's Presence Erasure allows Gakuro to get past the spirits blocking the way to the estate, but he's easily spotted by Yoshichi. I saw a comment suggesting that Gashadokuro is going to take Shiroha as his vessel, which I think could be interesting if spun correctly, but I'm not holding my breath

Kagurabachi: The Masumi take Iori away from the school to keep the Hishaku from killing innocent students, but this also explicitly paints a target on Iori; though the Hishaku consistently endanger bystanders, the Masumi are able to protect them exceedingly well, giving Chihiro the peace of mind to fight back. I love seeing Hiruhiko's words about Chihiro not belonging in normal places like schools ringing through his mind, I hope we get to keep delving into that

Chojo: After a crossover with Kochikame, Chojo laments that everyone loves Ryotsu better than him. Shame we'll NEVER GET TO READ THAT CROSSOVER, VIZ!!!

Astro Royale: The eponymous Astro Royale begins, though only the preliminary round is actually a battle royale - Hibaru and Terasu, without making any particular impression on the competition, manage to make it to the final eight, and a standard tournament bracket begins. They introduced three other major competing yakuza families to the Yotsurugi, but I'll be honest, I so vehemently didn't care about them or their role that I didn't actually bother to read those panels; I'll probably regret that later, but I had no patience for an info dump at the time

Kiyoshi: Sakaki's training is basically just Zenkai Boosting, beating Kiyoshi within an inch of his life repeatedly and throwing him in a healing bath so he can recover quickly and do it all over again. Not the most compelling training arc, but I've certainly seen worse

Hima-Ten: Kanna feels lonesome after Himari and Tenichi go on their class trip, so the three of them go on a shrine visit together. Kanna's my favorite character because she facilitates the polybait, so as long as she keeps this up, I'm happy

Ichi: Using Uroro's power knocks Ichi out, but Ichi was prepared and stabbed himself in the leg so he'd be conscious enough to get an attack on World Hater when he got close afterwards; World Hater prepares to kill Ichi, but Desscaras arrives just in time. I keep talking about World Hater's stoic demeanor in my reviews, so seeing him lose his composure and smile upon being stabbed is extremely compelling for me; Desscaras' presence tells me that we're about to have a ceiling battle, and I'm super excited

Shinobi: Yodaka and Tobi exchange some more oneliners, then Yodaka pulls a Midoriya and breaks his finger to hit Tobi with a sonic boom that bursts his eardrums, disabling his super hearing. Tobi mentioned something called a Kekkai, which hopefully means we're about to get a power system; if Tobi's hearing is his Kekkai, then the system may be somewhat mundane compared to typical shonen fare, but I'm excited either way

Hakutaku: Akamine shows off Hideout Plan to a local, helping Hikuma see further opportunities for growth in the design; Akamine then hits Hikuma with the question of his creative vision and drive. If Hakutaku is to continue, then this question will likely be the impetus for Hikuma's character arc going forward, but given its performance as of late, I fear it's setting up the conclusion of an arc that never got to begin

Syd Craft: Syd and Souffle go undercover on a cruise ship to foil a bombing plot; Elio sneaks aboard and somehow gets roped into joining the band, which accidentally unveils crucial information for Syd to find the bomb; the bomber turns out to be acting under duress, and is actually one of two bombers being manipulated by someone else. It's Waltz. Syd wondered who the second bomber was and it cut to the only named character on the boat, it's Waltz

Top 3 of the Week:

Undead Unluck, needing no explanation

Ichi the Witch, for hyping up our hero, villain and mentor

Shinobi Undercover, for continuing to develop Yodaka's feelings for Mukai and planting the seeds for a power system

I strongly debated between giving the number 3 spot to Sakamoto Days, but Shinobi's really starting to catch my attention and I want to honor that. Yozakura Family was also a strong contender for how sweet it was, but I'm not quite invested enough in it for it to surpass the ones that I am

WATCHING THE MESSENGER: THE STORY OF JOAN OF ARC (what a mouthful) FINAL THOUGHTS (sort of, I'm never done with Jeanne D'arc):

so the thing that's interesting about this one is that in writing her young and inexperienced which she was and also wrapped into this movie's depiction of womanhood and in the way it writes mental health is that she's got this sort of "idek what i'm doing or what the consequences are" vibe to her a lot of the time, especially after the first big battle and she sees all the corpses around her and has a meltdown followed by what seems to be dissociation for pretty much the whole rest of the film until her death

and the other thing is the things it chooses to play very straight and the things it does very differently -- so the killing of her sister in the beginning, which gives an early trauma to hearken back to and an added "impetus" for her to go to war, and which never happened vs the very specific sources it chose to deal with for her relationship to gender presentation (shocker i'm going into that), opting to nearly totally brush past it until the scene where she's "forced" to wear men's clothing again and gets burned for it -- which there is, to be clear, textual evidence that she wasn't given other clothes while incarcerated and did get judged for that, but also noticeably didn't include any of the other writing related to her visions telling her to wear men's clothing and this movie heavily mixing joan's visions with her as someone who's got a mental health issue of some kind, it's interesting that this snag of the clothing was mainly done away with, because it's a film that doesn't totally engage with her as someone with agency. she's mad, you see. that is the focal point. and what does "wearing men's clothings because the visions told me to" have to do with this madness? nothing, in fact it's kind of... not-very-mad-seeming

which is interesting as a counterpoint to a version i saw in the globe, which kind of went "an interpretation of joan as ye olde non-binary and also a lesbian" (this is flippantly written for brevity's sake, it was doing more than that, but that is the gist) which i did enjoy for the way it brought together a massive community of trans and nb theatre-goers within the globe and really felt like it was more for us than for joan, which i had struggles with because it went so far into the other direction of making everything a bit too modern for me. a bit too "joan's doing these choices with the idea that one day men's clothing will become allowed and joan has an internal sense of gender that coheres with modern sensibilities," and being a little timid around the religious and vision-y side of things

which is the crux of joan. you probably won't get a version that you're totally satisfied with, because joan As Figure encapsulates so many seeming paradoxes that we project ourselves onto. there's a distinct messiness to her that is very human in a way you don't always feel to quite this extent with mythos -- probably because of those court records and the subsequent early writings and the fact that she was nineteen years old when she was killed and it wasn't really that long ago comparatively

I think this movie struggled under the weight of that humanity, not for lack of trying to show it, but a. because of whatever personal bias besson went in with (which included basically stealing the project from kathryn bigelow and casting his then-wife mila jovovich, so youknow. there's some Vibes inherent in that already, and i do think bigelow could have done much more with both the feminism and the action, both of which were very uneven in this version imo) b. because of whatever other weird choices were made (i still think it was incredibly ugly-looking and many of the actors were flat -- not you, vincent cassel you were great) and c. because a movie possibly can't do it justice in the first place idk. we'll keep searching

obvs the passion of joan of arc is a masterclass. but it manages to get around a lot of these issues by essentially being all about the trial and a study of one of the most evocative faces ever put to silent film -- now that's giving "because the visions told me to"!

Hey can Servants get a normal human pregnant

it’s not impossible, but they normally can’t impregnate nor get pregnant, no.

In Fate/Apocrypha, Jeanne d'Arc says that because they have spiritual bodies it should be impossible for a Servant to get pregnant, but they might be able to if they are incarnated or possessing a human body.

"W-Well, it's... not impossible, I suppose. But a Servant's body are spiritual in nature to begin with, so unless a Servant is truly incarnated, such a feat would be practically a miracle."

to be fair this is technically just what one character is saying and it’s talking about getting pregnant and not impregnating, but it’s consistent with what we know about servant bodies and should apply both ways around. they’re spirit bodies, so they’re normally functionally sterile.

that aside, i don’t think we were ever explicitly told how the one servant who canonically did get pregnant via a human (izanami in fate/requiem) actually achieved it. id seen speculation that it was incarnation, a host body, or even just some kind of divine authority unique to her. so to get pregnant or get someone pregnant, they’d have to:

A. be physically incarnated somehow, like via the grail

B. have a host body like jeanne in apoc or other such pseudo servant stuff (but i believe the baby would then just technically have half of the host body’s genetics, and not ‘theirs’, if that makes it weird)

C. achieve some secret third thing that bypasses it

Ruins of the castle - merry-making in Tenczynek by Henryk Pillati, 1855:

propaganda: Dancing in ruins is just such a great aesthetic, a real fuck you to feeling defeated, a celebration of the short wonder that is life, it makes me wanna get up and dance too.

Jeanne d'Arc at the coronation of Charles VII in Reims Cathedral by Władysław Bakałowicz, c. 1865:

[no propaganda has been submitted]

[paulineagain]

On this day in 1431 Jeanne d'Arc, known in her village as Jehanette, was burned at the stake without the mercy of strangulation by the English civil authorities in Rouen, France for the stated crime of heresy. She was 19 years old. She was canonized by the Catholic Church in 1920; today is her feast day. (St. Jeanne by Kay Nielsen c 1914)

SMALL THREADS ONLY! Everywhere on Jeanne D'Arc's tumblr I see my soldiers lamenting the fact that their longer threads are left to languish b/c the time & effort it takes to really dig into those are just not readily available any more.

That is why going forward on shapeshyft.internet.edu i'm gonna be sticking to small threads only for a bit. Just to do my part in making y'all, the people that matter, less stressed.
